What I am saying is when developing pubic speaking skills it is more important to get very comfortable with being yourself in front of an audience FIRST, and then develop the behavioural qualities that will enhance your message. This means moving in from any forms of fear or self consciousness you might have.” (from an article by Michael Carroll of NLP Academy.)

The way you say what you say is vital. Yet it is tempting to get carried away trying to get what we say perfect – using precise gestures, tonalities and words – and end up sounding like a puppet.

Instead, what if you could start by getting comfortable being yourself and then adding those gestures, tonalities and words that fit you?
